Early treatment with convalescent plasma may reduce risk of long COVID

Findings from a nationwide, multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggest that patients with COVID-19 have less chance of developing post-COVID conditions - commonly known as long COVID - if they receive early treatment with plasma from convalescent (recovered) COVID patients that contain antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Unlocking the secret soldiers: How dendritic cells could revolutionize cancer immunotherapy

A recent review in the journal Immunity delves into the crucial role of dendritic cells (DCs) in shaping T-cell responses in cancer, highlighting their importance in both priming anti-tumor immunity and in ongoing immune interactions within tumors. The findings underscore the potential of DCs as key targets for next-generation cancer immunotherapies.
